Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an improvement of a rotary pot for boiling, stewing, etc. of prepared foods.

A rotary kettle as described above is generally used in which the main body of the kettle, which is supported by a rotating shaft on a frame, is tipped forward from an upright position to load and remove materials.

In such rotary pots, when boiling, draining, seasoning, and draining side dishes, it is necessary to close the outer lid so that only the liquid and not the solid ingredients come out from the tipped pot body. It is conventionally known to open the container and cover it with an inner cover made of a perforated plate such as a wire mesh or punching metal, and then drain only the liquid.

However, in the conventional type, at least the inner lid is placed on the pot body, removed and placed separately, and operation during use is troublesome.

This idea was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and by pivotally connecting the inner lid and outer lid with a hinge member, and making it possible to open and close the inner lid in either the upright or fallen position of the pot, This simplifies the opening/closing operation of the inner and outer lids, and eliminates the need for space for separate placement of the inner and outer lids, unlike conventional products.

An embodiment in which this invention is applied to a steam kettle will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a pot main body, and hollow rotating shafts 2 and 3 protruding from both sides of the main body 1 are supported by frames 4 and 5 whose sides are roughly A-shaped. The inner and outer bottom surfaces of the double bottom of No. 1 are connected to each other.

An exhaust pipe 7 having an exhaust valve 6 is connected to the outer end of one rotating shaft 2, and an air supply pipe 9 having an air supply valve 8 is connected to the outer end of the other rotating shaft 3. It is in communication with a steam source (not shown).

Further, a worm 37 that engages with a worm wheel 36 fitted on the rotating shaft 3 is fixed to a handle 10 that is pivotally supported on the frame 5, and by operating the handle 10, the rotating shaft 3,
By rotating the hook 2, the hook body 1 can be raised and tilted forward.

Note that the above configuration is the same as that of a conventional rotary pot of this type.

A collar 11 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 2 so as to be rotatable and not move in the axial direction, and an inner lid hinge member 13 is pivotally supported by a pivot 14 on a protrusion 12 protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the collar 11. An inner lid 15 is fixed to 13.

The inner lid 15 has an angular cross-sectional outer ring 16 that connects to the pot body 1.
A wire mesh 17 that covers the opening of the hook body 1 is attached to the outer ring 16 in a detachable manner.
is stretched, the end of the crosspiece 18 supporting this wire mesh 17 is fixed to the outer ring 16, and the inner end 1 of the inner lid hinge member 13 is fixed to the outer ring 16.
3a is fixed to the crosspiece 18 with the wire mesh 17 sandwiched therebetween.

Projections 19 are provided at a plurality of locations on the side peripheral end surface of the outer peripheral ring 16.
A tightening bolt 20 is screwed into this protrusion 19, and by tightening the bolt 20, the inner cover 1 is closed.
5 is fixed to the hook body 1.

Furthermore, a handle 22 for opening and closing is fixed to the outer ring 16.

A mounting board 23 is fixed to the outside of the collar 11 of the frame 4, an outer lid hinge member 25 is pivotally supported on the mounting board 23 by a pivot 24, and an outer lid 26 is fixed by the outer lid hinge member 25.

The outer cover 26 is made of a molded metal plate, and covers the outside of the inner cover 15 and is removably fitted thereto.
A notch 27 into which the handle 22 of the inner lid 15 is loosely inserted and a notch 28 into which the inner end 13 a of the inner lid hinge member 13 is loosely fitted are formed in the outer peripheral flange 26 a, and a cover 38 covers the latter notch 28 . is fixed and a handle 29 for opening and closing is provided.

There is a spring 30 between the outer lid hinge member 25 and the frame 4.
is applied, and this spring 30 is biased toward the opening side when the outer lid 26 is opened to a certain degree or more, so that the opening operation can be easily performed.

Further, a stopper 31 is fixed on the frame 4 to support the inner cover hinge member 13 and prevent the inner cover 15 from falling toward the front when the inner cover 15 is opened with the pot body 1 in an upright state.

In the figure, 32 is a drain cock, 33 is a thermometer, 34 is a pressure gauge, and 35 is a safety valve.

The rotary pot constructed as described above is constructed by operating the handle 10 to rotate the rotary shaft 2.3 with the outer cover 26 and inner cover 15 standing upright and open as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The hook body 1 is then tipped forward.

In this case, the inner cover 15 which is opened in an upright state is supported by the inner cover hinge member 13 on the stopper 31, so that the inner cover 15 is opened in an upright state.
1 slips with the rotating shaft 2 to maintain an upright position, and the hook body 1
It does not rotate together.

After putting the material into the pot with the pot body 1 tilted forward,
The pot body 1 is raised by operating the handle 10, and the handle 2
2 and rotate the inner cover 15 along with the inner cover hinge member 13 to the pivot 1.
4 to close it, and tighten the bolts 20 attached to the outer ring 16 to cover the opening of the pot body 1 and fix the inner cover 15 thereto.

Also, hold the handle 29 and attach the outer cover 26 to the outer cover hinge member 25.
The inner lid 15 is rotated around the pivot 24 to close the inner lid 15.
to fit.

In this state, the air supply valve 8 is opened to supply steam from the air supply pipe 9 through the rotary shaft 3 to the pot body 1 to boil the material.

In this case, if necessary, boiling may be performed with the outer lid 26 opened half-open at 45 degrees or fully opened in an upright position.

Furthermore, the air supply valve 8 is closed to stop the supply of steam to the pot body 1, and if the outer cover 26 is closed, it is opened, and the pot body 1 is turned over with the inner cover 15 closed. Only liquid juice is taken out from inside the main body 1, and solid material is prevented from coming out by an inner lid 15.

Thereafter, seasonings are put into the pot body 1, and the pot body 1 is made to stand up again and steam is blown into the pot body 1 for flavoring and simmering.

After completing these steps, open the outer cover 26 if it is closed, loosen the port 20, open the inner cover 15, and remove the pot body 1.
Turn it over and take out the product from the pot body 1.

The above operation is an example of the use of this invention, and the rotary pot of this invention can be operated with the outer lid 26 open and the inner lid 15 closed.
The pot body 1 can be rotated together with the inner lid 15 and turned over, and draining, dripping, etc. can be performed as appropriate in this state, and
When the pot body 1 is in an upright position, the outer cover 26 can be opened at an appropriate angle and the inner cover 15 can be closed to heat the material. In this case, even if the liquid boils and overflows from the pot body 1. It is possible to prevent the solid material from spilling out of the pot body 1, and furthermore, the inner lid 15 which is closed when the pot body 1 is overturned can be opened to take out the boiled product.

In this invention, the inner lid 15 can be made of a perforated plate such as punched metal instead of a wire mesh.

Further, by considering the load balance of the outer cover and providing both a tension spring and a compression spring between the outer cover and the frame, the outer cover may be held in a proper position during opening.

Furthermore, this invention can also be applied to a rotary kettle equipped with a kettle body that is heated directly over a direct fire instead of a steam kettle.

A collar is rotatably fitted onto one of the rotating shafts protruding from both sides of the pot body, and an inner cover made of wire mesh or a perforated plate is attached to this collar via an inner cover hinge member to open and close the opening of the pot body. The inner lid is releasably tightened to the pot body, and the outer cover covering the outside of the inner cover is attached to the pot via the outer cover hinge member disposed on the same side of the inner cover hinge member with respect to the pot body. The main body is attached to a frame that is pivotally supported so that it can fall over.

Therefore, in this invention, the collar, which is attached to the inner lid via the inner lid hinge member, is rotatably fitted to the rotating shaft of the hook body, so that the hook body can be held in either the upright or overturned state. Even if the outer cover is open, the inner cover can be opened and closed, and the pot body can be rotated between the upright position and the tipped position with the inner cover open in the upright position. In this state, the pot body is tipped over and used for boiling, draining, and draining side dishes, and only the liquid is discharged from the pot body, and then the inner lid is opened while the pot is in the tipped state and the solid material inside the pot body is taken out. Alternatively, you can raise the pot body with the inner lid closed and heat it further, or you can heat it by standing the pot body up, open the outer lid at an appropriate angle, and close the inner lid. This prevents solid materials from spilling out of the pot body when the liquid boils and overflows from the pot body.Furthermore, by opening the outer and inner lids while standing upright, you can tip the pot body over and remove the product from the pot body. It simplifies and diversifies operations, such as being able to be taken out from the outer lid.

There is no need to remove the inner lid from the pot body and place it separately.
This has the effect of saving space when using a rotary pot, compared to a method in which the outer lid and inner lid are removed from the pot body and placed separately.
